When I talk about academic blogs that demonstrate the capacity of that form, I lead with @nursingclio.bsky.social. When I think of academics who model the potential of the para-academic pathway, I think of @lmansley.bsky.social. Anyway, read this.
I'm incredibly moved by this piece by @lmansley.bsky.social in AHA's Perspectives on History. I've watched Laura's professional track over the years and I've been proud to be a small part of her journey. Please read and share widely! I also think it's an important piece to share with grad students.

Nothing says love quite like a partner who will serve you a bowl with all the cooked carrots already picked out of the stew.

I’m sorry. If you are an American author, why are you calling the trunk of the car the boot? And really, is there any excuse to call an elevator a lift except pretentious language affect garbage blah blah blah.
It’s time to take a stand.

I just realized I can’t die until they have a cure for ADHD because I have way too many unfinished projects and it would be far too embarrassing. And I would be the ghost who wanders my house at night looking for wherever the new residents hid the double sided tape.

I mean, maybe it was impolite for me to ignore the person at the door but I needed to finish my embroidery stitch and the at home sleep study people said they would get here at 8pm not 7:50 so it isn’t really my fault. Blame the guy who let the sleep study person in and then bailed on me mid-stitch.

Whenever I hear the British term for “swim suit” my mind drifts to very creative places. I like to imagine my swimming costume would have a dragon or Cthulhu. Maybe unicorn.

I like to protest and say, “if you insist” over nothing. Like when I go to bed, I’ll tell the cats, “if you insist.”
Putting my spoon in the dishwasher? “If you insist.”
Crushing the patriarchy by rejecting the status quo at every step? “If you insist.”

When I hang laundry on the line I always feel like I should be wearing a long cotton dress and yelling at the babies to stop doing that mischief over there.

I am on my way home from a Very Important Meeting that was held in our nation’s capital. I have attended other meetings hosted by this Very Important Organization and I can tell you, this one was noticeably different.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

It’s not just the executive orders. It’s the foul and divisive rhetoric, the language of hate and discrimination that is germinated within the EOs. Every single EO seeds a field of discord that will take generations to undo. Simply letting them lay fallow will never heal the harms they sow.

Well this was a week. Let’s celebrate the good tonight, for example…
I have two cats and neither has sounded the dinner time alarm even though five pm was three minutes ago.

Today has been all about freaking out, stifling tears of despair, seeking small comforts, and commiserating. This situation was not covered in REM’s “It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine).”
I most certainly do not feel fine. It turns out the Cold War is domestic, Mr Stipe.

When I was a wee raccoon, I loved it when we processed the chickens. I didn’t know any other kid who had a favorite entrail.
(Gizzards are so cool.)
I was that weirdo with the messy clothes, tangled hair, and vivid stories about butchering animals. Not a key to popularity, I promise.

I had my gums grafted yesterday. The periodontist told me not to look at my gums because it would freak me out. Apparently he hasn’t met a nurse before.

If nothing else, clemency for Leonard Peltier is a great act and I will remember Biden for taking this action. It’s about damn time.

My medical leave ends on Monday. I’m kind of grumpy about it. Or maybe I’m grumpy because I have no uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or breast tissue. My new natural state is now: crone. Don’t cross me is all I’m saying.
